Vintge birthday card for my dad!

My dad turns 87 years old tomorrow! I designed this birthday card for him using the following Tim Holtz products: rubber stamps, acrylic stamps, tape, and border die cut. I added the "4 You" from Stampin' Up!'s stamp set and tag punch. I was able to use the keyhole eyelet that I bought about three years ago! Think it looks great in the corner with the tag hanging from it. I used espresso metallic paint instead of ink for this card, distressing the edges of the paper and the tape as well. I added just a bit of black/tan striped ribbon to the top edge of the car, using foam dots to give the car a lift off the paper. I am really happy with the way it turned out! Happy birthday, dad, and many more!!!
